Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska, USA. While there, we had the good fortune to see and hear some 'small' calving of the Margerie Glacier. With the sound like a rifle shot echoing across the bay, the ice, having broken off the glacier face cascaded to the water below. This one had broken off about 125 feet from the water, creating a forty-foot splash upon impact. This phot is cropped from a larger image, them enlarged with onOne Perfect Resize. Enjoy!
